A spin off of the recent candy recipes. I am finding that melting erythritol opens all sorts of doors!

melt on stovetop til liquid:

1/3 cup Erythritol

when liquid add 8 drops sweetzfree, 2 Tbs reduced fat cream cheese. stir til liquid (I take off heat so E doesn't caramelize). Add 1 scoop chocolate protein powder and 2 Tbs Hersheys dark chocolate. stir and add 3 Tbs (or so) vanilla davincis. Stir til creamy. scrape into container and refrigerate. In a half hour or so you will have a beautiful fudge that is oh so satisfying. Did the same fudge with Vanilla protein powder and PB2 instead of cocoa. Delightful! I am not sure of carbs--4? less than 200 calories for whole thing

could you tell me the sugar equivalant to 8 drops of sweetzfree. I don't have it so will need to sub for it. Thanks

If you're gonna use powdered in place of granular, you should do it by weight, because it won't measure the same volume as the granular does. I'm not sure what the weight of 1/3 cup of granular is offhand though!

yeah--easy peasy. takes less than a minute on the stovetop in a small pan over medium heat. Melt E, add sweetzfree (or whatever synergistic sweetner you want to add), add protein powder and then add either cocoa or PB2. Stir til thick, add davincis (I just pour a glop in) and stir til thinner--put in container and spread out. Refrigerate. FUDGE.

This works well to make different flavors. When I made the original version I did not melt the sweetener (I use a combination of several all mixed together) but I like the graininess (yeah I know I'm weird!).
Last night I made 3 flavors but used a few drops of liquid Stevia as the sweetener (I think I used 6 drops) mixed it with the melted EVCO, stirred in the vanilla whey then added maple flavor and some walnuts to one batch, butter rum flavor to a second batch, and coconut and coconut flavoring to a 3rd batch.
Keep these in the frig. If you want them a bit firmer, leave the lid off the container.
(I used the reduced fat cream cheese which leaves them a bit soft).
Thanks for the inspiration Ouiz!

I am glad you "revived" this thread Cindy! I had forgotten about this version and have been using the one that calls for coconut oil. I need to cut down on calories so I am going to switch back to this recipe.

Yup, same reason for me. In maintenance, you can't get away with a ton of calories. It sounds good.
